MACCA75
Player Valuation: £70m
Ok, not the end of the season yet, but only the most optimistic fan would suggest that it isn't going to end on Saturday.
Marks out of 10 and brief comments please:
Howard. 2/10 Proved that last seasons form was indeed a terminal decline. Thanks and Goodbye.
Robles. 8/10. Hasn't let anyone down at all, a rarity this year.
Baines. 5/10. Looks
unrecognisable from 3 years ago, age/injuries finally caught up with him.
Galloway. 6/10. Bright start to the season, bit unfortunate to suffer the Martinez frozen out treatment.
Oviedo. 3/10. Put the sentiment away, this is the sort of player that will relegate us.
Stones. 6/10. Seems to have swallowed his own hype and current manager is worst he could possibly have. Save the 'calm down' gestures for when you can defend properly John.
Funes Mori. 6/10. Cult hero but his performances are minimum of what I expect from a £9 million defender. Foolish derby antics.
Jagielka. 6.5/10. Like a comfort blanket, I feel better when he is there, but far from his best season
Coleman. 5/10. Like Baines, seems to have regressed. His boundless enthusiasm can't hide technical shortcomings.
Barry. 7/10. See Jagielka comments.
McCarthy. 5.5/10. We seem to miss him when he's not there but playing like a sheep in wolves clothing all year.
Besic. 5/10. Promising cameo's but 2 years in and still nothing like demands a first team place.
Barkley. 6/10. A good start but faded. Not a kid anymore and shouldn't be treated as such. Massively over-hyped.
Deulefeu. 6.5/10. A flurry of assists but seems to lack consistency, fitness and work rate. Who knows what future holds.
Lennon. 7/10. His work rate makes him a consistent 7/10 player, which often makes him our MOTM. Can't go to a higher level though.
Mirallas. 5/10. Would almost certainly be higher if he hadn't been hopelessly mis-managed for second successive season.
Cleverley. 5/10. Squad player at best. The very definition of mediocre.
Kone. 4/10. Roberto seemed to invent a left wing/centre forward hybrid position for him that should never be seen again
Lukaku. 8/10. Much improved this season, would be a 9 if he didn't look completely disinterested of late.
Osman, Pienaar, Gibson, Niasse, Browning etc, not worth scoring.
Roberto Martinez. 3/10. Even a flukey cup win can't hide his shortcomings. Time to go.
